President Summers Says No Effort Bn Made to Get Outlaw Pitcher.

Word came form headquarters in Cleveland yesterday that the management of the Naps had never made any effort to induce Ben Henderson, pitcher for the Oakland team in the State League, to join the club.  President Summers declared emphatically that he had never opened negotiations with the manager of the Oakland team or with Henderson himself in regard to the matter.

Henderson belongs to Cleveland, having been transferred to that club by Portland of the Coast League, but President Summers says he does not want the pitcher.

Many stories have been circulated that fabulous sums were being offered Henderson–one of them going as high as $8,000–to get him into the fold.  It now turns out that all the tales were so much hot air.

When Scout Jim McGuire was here several weeks ago it is said Henderson approached him as to going to Cleveland.  McGuire communicated the wishes of the "outlaw" to the management, but the thing never went any farther.

According to a dispatch from the National Commission received by President J. Cal Ewing of the Coast League yesterday, Henderson could not pitch for Cleveland even if that club wanted him.  The dispatch stated that the May 1st rule would be rigidly enforced and that no player who had played in the outlaw State League after that date could play in any league in the country outside the Coast League.
